An Idiot Plays Animal Crossing New Horizons

It’s early December and I have a new game to play. I turn on my Switch Lite and go to the home menu, then select the only game present.

Why the Gibus died

The Ghastly Gibus is the hat of the new player. The newbie. The n00b if you’re feeling cruel. For many people, whether they played before the Uber Update or after, the Ghastly Gibus was often their first hat, or at least one of their early ones. Yet the Ghastly Gibus has become a much rarer sight these days. Odd.
